Size and shape of inhaled asbestos nanofibers may be exclusively responsible for pulmonary fibrosis

Size and shape of inhaled asbestos nanofibers may be exclusively responsible for pulmonary fibrosis

The pathogenic potential of inhaling the inert fibrous nanomaterials used in thermal insulation (such as asbestos or fiberglass) is actually connected not to their chemical composition‚ but instead to their geometrical characteristics and size. The reason for this is the inability of the macrophages naturally present in pulmonary alveolar tissue to eliminate foreign bodies that are too large.

Carnivorous plant traps help scientists explain the evolution of complex 'composite' traits

Carnivorous plant traps help scientists explain the evolution of complex 'composite' traits

An international team of researchers led by Dr. Ulrike Bauer from the University of Bristol investigated two tropical pitcher plant species separated by 4‚000 km of open ocean: The Slender Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes gracilis) found in Borneo‚ and Nepenthes pervillei from the Seychelles islands off the East coast of Africa.

Scientists discover why chicken farms are a breeding ground for antibiotic resistant bacteria

Scientists discover why chicken farms are a breeding ground for antibiotic resistant bacteria

Scientists from the University of Nottingham are one step closer to understanding how bacteria‚ such as E. coli and Salmonella enterica‚ share genetic material which makes them resistant to antibiotics.

Mysterious missing component in the clouds of Venus revealed

Mysterious missing component in the clouds of Venus revealed

What are the clouds of Venus made of? Scientists know it's mainly made of sulfuric acid droplets‚ with some water‚ chlorine‚ and iron. Their concentrations vary with height in the thick and hostile Venusian atmosphere. But until now they have been unable to identify the missing component that would explain the clouds' patches and streaks‚ only visible in the UV range.

A new approach can address antibiotic resistance to Mycobacterium abscessus

A new approach can address antibiotic resistance to Mycobacterium abscessus

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are tackling Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) antibiotic resistance. This naturally antibiotic-resistant pathogen is becoming more prevalent‚ highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutics. To address this‚ the scientists designed new versions of the drug spectinomycin that overcome efflux‚ the main mechanism driving resistance. The work is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Using Berry phase monopole engineering for high-temperature spintronic devices

Using Berry phase monopole engineering for high-temperature spintronic devices

Spintronic devices are electronic devices that utilize the spin of electrons (an intrinsic form of angular momentum possessed by the electron) to achieve high-speed processing and low-cost data storage. In this regard‚ spin-transfer torque is a key phenomenon that enables ultrafast and low-power spintronic devices. Recently‚ however‚ spin-orbit torque (SOT) has emerged as a promising alternative to spin-transfer torque.

Research team combines two catalysts to make common chemical production safer‚ more environmentally friendly

Research team combines two catalysts to make common chemical production safer‚ more environmentally friendly

The chemical industry has long been shadowed by unwelcome images of billowing smokestacks and pipes discharging toxic effluent. Modern manufacturing practices have done much to mitigate the industry's environmental impact‚ but there remains room for improvement.
